Screen's command line is rather complex. That's one reason I mostly use it
via my "scr" wrapper. It makes starting a session and rejoining it very easy
and makes naming them easy.

I mostly do only this:

  scr                   # list screens and names
  scr FOO               # create (or rejoin if it exists) screen FOO
  scr 3                 # rejoin the third screen listed by "scr"

And you're off and running.

Then you just run your wgets inside, interactively as you might
normally.

There are various other special purpose things I use screen for and then
I use it directly, but scr does me 95% of the time, probably more.
